To Belmont Trig

To Belmont Trig

After lunch three members departed for the Belmont "Trig" via a supplejack-clad hillside, the remainder of the party bearing to the left and tackling the gorse-clad heights, both parties arriving at their respective ridges, being approximately the same height, although some miles away from each other. Both parties then commenced the descent and eventually arrived on the same leading ridge. A quick descent was then made down the slopes and a short trudge up a metal road, which in turn led on to the hills surrounding Porirua, eventually arriving at a watered valley with ample supplies of firewood. Presently a roaring fire was blazing and the billy boiling.

The party then made its way to the Porirua Railway Station and arrived approximately three quarters of an hour before the train was due to leave: having changed, the party then explored the immediate precincts of the station until such time as the train was due.

Dawn Croxton and Doris Johannes son, of the Table Tennis Club, recently represented Wellington in a match against Auckland. So far no men from the "Varsity Club have won rep. honours.
